## Summary

North Lanarkshire Council, along with East Dunbartonshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, Renfrewshire Council, and North Ayrshire Council (collectively referred to as the "Partners"), have initiated the planning stage of a public procurement process for the disposal of food and garden waste. The title of the tender is "Market Engagement - Clyde Valley Waste Partnership: Food and Garden Waste," falling under the industry category of General Public Services and Waste Treatment and Disposal (CPV codes 90510000, 90511200, 90512000). The primary location for the services required is within the UKM8 region. The primary procurement category is services, and the procurement method involves market engagement through a planned procurement notice with a future notice date of 1 October 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in waste management and disposal solutions, particularly those capable of handling co-mingled food and garden waste. The project aims to address issues such as increased disposal costs and operational inefficiencies faced by the councils. Businesses with expertise in waste treatment, transfer stations, and logistics can potentially benefit from this engagement. The councils are looking to collaborate with innovative providers who can offer bespoke solutions for waste management, which could lead to long-term contracts and business growth for successful vendors.

## Notice

The Clyde Valley Partners, (North Lanarkshire as Lead Authority, Renfrewshire Council, East Renfrewshire Council, North Ayrshire and East Dunbartonshire Council collectively referred to as the "Partners") have requested that the Clyde Valley Contract Management Team (CMT) investigated the food and garden waste disposal market.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The requirement has been borne out of issues in relation to the market associated with co-mingled Food and Garden waste treatment and disposal. The issues raised by the CMT Steering Group are: - Costs for disposal have dramatically increased over the last 18 months - Run time to available outlets as all Partners direct deliver waste - Down time at the facility (Turnaround times) - not picking up waste Subsequent costs of maintenance of vehicles and costs of crew for the long journeys As a result, the Partners are looking for a solution to enable them to engage with more outlets, reduce runtime/downtime associated with the management of this waste stream. Although all Partners are interested in market engagement it should be noted that North Ayrshire have a transfer station and East Dunbartonshire collect food and Garden waste separately The tonnage associated with the three remaining Partners is as detailed below: 9,600t - East Renfrewshire 22,250 - North Lanarkshire 12,350 - Renfrewshire 44,200 - Total CMT have carried out a number of projects in relation to this issue and have come to the following findings: -5 sites have been identified within the Partners Council area as per Appendix 1 to this PIN. -4 sites within North Lanarkshire -1 site within Renfrewshire -There are limited known private transfer stations that could take this tonnage/waste type The Partners would ideally like to have their own transfer station (one or two depending on location) to allow them to engage with more of the market for this waste type. A transfer station would enable the waste to be stored and bulked enable the more efficient onward transport of the waste. By bulking the waste this should also enable the Partners to use facilities further away should the offer more favourable gate fees. The Partners however want to engage with the market to understand any obstacles, the best way to move forward and what interest there is in offering an available solution or building a bespoke solution. The cost of the Project is unknown at this time. The Partners at this time would like to investigate the options available to them before undertaking a more extensive Business Case.
